Recipe: Healthier Buffalo Chicken Tenders

Healthier Buffalo Chicken Tenders

This a very tasty version of my favorite recipe. My wife makes this for me and my son and he loves it. It does well with a healthy version of ranch she often makes to dip for the tenders and celery in. If you are interested in ranch recipe, visit “Recipe: Healthy Ranch Dip”
